After serving at the Redeemed Christian Church of God for 23 years, Bayo Akinjiyan, 55, has decried what he described as “man’s inhumanity to man and the travesty of justice” by the church he served “meritoriously.”
Akinjiyan, who voluntarily resigned from the church in 2013 after rising to the position of an assistant provincial pastor at Lagos Province 25, said he could not fathom why an organisation he was once a part of for 23 years would treat him with “human indignity” and refuse to pay him what is due to him.

In the video, Mercy was seen throwing  her blue top on the bed from an angle she knew the camera could not cover.  She also ensured that the camera lense did not capture her when she  removed her trousers.

PATIENT MERCY

Behold the farmer waits for the precious fruits of the earth being patient over it until it receives the early and late rain. James 5:7b, RSV

If you are the type who is always in a hurry to have anything, you will surely lack this divine attribute of showing patient mercy. This implies waiting patiently until somebody is able to turn a new leaf. It also means withholding punishment that is

Attention Buhari: Hunger-Induced Crime On The Increase By Evelyn Usman

Nigerians, across the country, are no doubt facing difficult times owing to the current economic recession. Although the President Muhammadu Burari’s -led administration has been applauded for its fight against corruption, following several arrests of the acclaimed high and mighty, and subsequent refund of stolen funds, the management of the economy has not brought similar cheering news.
The tough times have resulted in job losses and hunger-induced crimes. The petty crimes are increasing nationwide.

Magu’s EFCC and the Freedom of Speech By Dr. Ugoji Egbujo

Magu started well. Ribadu had so much zeal, the public treated his penchant for flagrant transgression of rights with levity. Magu is a great improvement on Ribadu. Ribadu attended to widespread rot with uncommon but unchecked enthusiasm. And the public responded with uncritical goodwill and doting adoration. That honeymoon era is gone. After Ribadu, the EFCC lapsed into willful docility. Farida’s agency fell into the hands of its enemies. And they smothered it.
Corruption then was treated with the sort of sympathy normally reserved for addictions.
An acquiescence that recognized helpless inevitability and left hopelessness. An abdication of responsibility that hid itself behind the curtains of self serving realism. Corruption was assumed cultural, and so to fight it boldly, required measurable hypocrisy. That alone can explain the cavalierism . Because the fight against corruption is not for the saint alone.

Emissions And Fossil Fuels 2040 By Sonny Atumah

At the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference last week in San Antonio, United States, ExxonMobil commercial adviser Ken Golden was of the view that the calls for ban on fossil fuels for now were unrealistic. Examining global energy trends, Golden was of the view that though fossil fuels use posedanger to climate change,the clamour for alternative and renewable fuels in wind and solar would contribute less than 3 percent of global energy use by 2040.
He said the fossil fuels of oil, gas and coal would still contribute about 80 percent by 2040, though the use of coal would reduce considerably. Althoughhe gave the impression that his position was not that of his corporation, his opinion that it was not feasible to contemplate a ban of fossil fuels may not be radically different. Excerpt of ExxonMobil’s statement on 2015 Paris Conference of Parties (COP21) was that they encouraged policy makers to develop mechanisms that would focus on reducing the greatest amount of emissions at the lowest cost to society.

Nigeria coach Samson Siasia said on Friday that he will support players boycotting Saturday’s football quarter-final against Denmark over unpaid allowances.

Your Clutters Sent Your Spouse To The Next Room By Elizabeth Badejo

Last week, I mentioned some of the possible reasons more now couples sleep in separate rooms and why it may be necessary in some marriages as long as there is an understanding and it’s in the interest of the couple. In the course of my interactions with some ardent readers during the week, mostly men to be precise; I discovered that some women’s bad habits have deliberately forced their husbands to sleep in separate rooms.
Most women have more material possessions than their spouse from time immemorial and as they settle into their marital homes, they continue to possess more through the acts of buying wanted and unwanted clothes, shoes, gifts, bits and pieces, which can sometimes become clutters around the bedroom.
Throw out the clutters

Soyinka, Dogara And The Presidential Mandate By Olalekan Adetayo

When President Muhammadu Buhari hosted State House correspondents to a lunch on May 30 as part of activities marking his one year in office, he gave us a clear mandate. The presidential mandate was that we should be grilling all those who come to the Villa to meet with him.
The President did not mince words in telling us to always do researches on his guests with a view to asking them critical questions. In doing that, Buhari said his guests too would be forced to do their homework well before coming to face us.
That was the stroke we have been applying to guests at the Villa since that encounter with the President. We usually apply “subtle blackmail” for those who do not want to speak with us by telling them that the President directed us that we must interview all his guests. He actually gave that directive.

When Marriage Is Not The Answer… By Chukwuneta Oby


One who is not ready to face his /her reality, seeks answers in the wrong places.
A lot of the times you think ‘not having a spouse’ is the issue, is actually when you don’t need one.
Emotional readiness is what should propel you towards marriage and only then can you give it your best shot.
When unemployed, what you need most is a job/skill acquisition and not marriage. There is a fulfillment that ‘having a job’ gives you; that is even when you don’t begin to feel sorry for yourself or depressed anytime you have issues with your better half.
Except you have a solid arrangement with your spouse to be otherwise, please get off your behind and go find something doing. Go back to school (if you have to) to retrain yourself. The men in this category are most pathetic. A man is not wired to be catered for by a woman; otherwise your manliness chips off any time you let that happen to you. And you must not be as comfortable as your woman, to make efforts to bring something to the table.
